AMP Show

 On Friday we had the AMP show. There wasn't much to do but we all got to go through the hall with all the creations that people had made. Me and my friends made pig cookies but they didn't really look like pigs. The teachers made cakes to represent our classroom and ours came second. Overall I think the AMP show was quite boring.

Tessellation

Today for maths we did tessellation shapes and these are the ones I made.

Top ten tips for year sevens going into year 8

 Top ten tips for year 7 going into year 8 

1. Be prepared to leave, if you get bored of intermediate that is a good sign that you are ready for high school. 

2. Keep away from girls  - Nogo Sipeli 2020 

3. Keep the classroom clean or Mr. Redmond will make you sit on the mat of shame.

4. People don’t think you are cool when you push past everyone. If you just wait by the door people will respect you and therefore treat you with that respect. 

5. Honestly Dating at a young age will never be a good idea, having a significant other means loving them, i'm not saying that you can’t love. But our brains haven’t even gotten to the stage where we want an actual lover. 

6. Be child friendly, you may realize there are juniors (5-7 yr olds) in the school, that means no swearing or bad language.

7. Make sure you have your stuff being organised and don’t be a stupid fool. if you run out of stationary just buy some more. 

8. Don’t play games on your computer, remember teachers can see your screen.

9. Be friendly to the little  kids, they will one day be seniors and yu need to make a good impression. 

10.  And finally, don’t be afraid to make new friends that you have never talked to before. It could change your life, you could make life time best friends you never knew you needed.

maths

 

Today I made a octagonal pyramid with card. I spent a few minutes trying to glue it but I failed so I taped it instead. I wasted a lot of time colouring in the tape as well. It has nine vertices, sixteen edges and nine faces.

Maths

Today in maths we designed nets for cubes in our books then made them out of coloured paper. Bluebell and I made a house out of it. Here is a picture of the house compared to a pair of scissors.

Sorting polygons

For maths today I sorted shapes into two groups: Polygons and Not Polygons. 

The rules of Polygons are they need to be closed and not opened, they have to be 2D, They need to have straight sides and no curves. 

If the lines are intersecting it is a complex polygon.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 The second thing I did was a polygon match, polygons are named by how many sides they have. So I had to sort out the polygons by their sides and names.

Polygons

 This is my slideshow on different polygons.
